Today I put about 100 rounds through my M1 icon

. I was braking it down, I forgot to close the bolt before removing the trigger housing assmebly. I went to close the bolt and somehow the bolt lugs popped out of the channels in the receiver and everything got bound up I was able to gently persuade the bolt lugs back in the channels. and the weapons function fine(well thats with live fire) has this ever happened to any one? should be worried? Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I'm having trouble imagining the mechanics of that. Having the bolt locked to the rear shouldnt make field stripping it any different, the action is open, thats the onlt difference.

You better send that defective Garand icon

to me so I can dispose of it properly

Seriously, I've never seen that happen either... And I'm pretty sure I've removed the trigger like that too.

So the right side of the bolt came out of the Op rod and the left dropped out of track. No biggie but I would be looking at the Op rod tab and trying to figure out how the the Op rod was not in it's track.
